The Highwomen Update: Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris + Amanda Shires Get to Work

In early January, Amanda Shires teased a collaborative project by a group of female artists, dubbed the Highwomen. Shires later said that she let the news slip a bit too soon -- but judging from social media, the project is full steam ahead.

According to Shires, she and Carlile had written two songs together for the project, and she was also writing music for it with Jim Lauderdale. She indicated during the interview that the Highwomen are aiming to "play more country music," and to involve a wide range of special guests.

Shires said at the time that she and Carlile had asked Margo Price to join them, "and she said yeah," making the Highwomen a trio; however, Shires later admitted that she "jumped the gun" on announcing Price's involvement. "Brandi and I do have something in the works," she shared on Twitter, "and we will announce the exact details when it comes to fruition."
